Finally I managed to dump the video BIOS somehow by the help of PCWizard. I do not know the way the PCWizard uses for the extraction, maybe it is from the shadow copy, also the output format is not pure binary, so if anybody can check, please, sense of this dumped stuff...
Thanks, but this has been tried in the past as well and PCWizard doesn't really dump the BIOS. It make a very strange text wise dump which is good to read but can't be used. Why they call it a BIOS dump I don't know, but it is worth nothing. So removed, and you can forget about PCWizard...

My video card is the Point of View GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB. Is there something I'm missing, does anyone know why I'm getting the error? Thanks for any usefull replies...

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v3.4a Software Feedback... - 2007/07/07 12:31 Well, first of all make sure you extract all in the same directory cuase there are some special ".sys" files included. Then since you are using Windows Vista 64-bit, Microsoft is not so nice anymore and blocking certain direct access to the hardward. And that is exactly what is needed if you want to backup the BIOS from the graphics card. And NiBiTor itself is working just fine on Windows Vista 32-bit or 64-bit, just not the advanced functions of reading the BIOS and setting timings etc. which need the driver.

The problem on Vista is the new driver signing forced by microsoft, and that is why all the other overclock tools don't work neither. There is a way to disable driver signing permanently which is told by people to be able to use these tools. You can use F8 key on bootup and choose to disable driver signing for the current session. Because some people may want driver signing active because Microsoft says it improves their system security.

Disable Driver Signing Command...
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v3.4a Software Feedback... - 2007/07/07 12:50 All extracted in one folder on my desktop, including the ".sys" files and I disabled driver signing a while ago to use Coretemp, so that shouldn't be the problem...

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v3.4a Software Feedback... - 2007/07/07 13:04 Well, then we can't do anything... It works fine with Windows Vista 32-bit, but the 64-bit is worse due to Microsoft blocking direct access to the hardware and that is what is required. Our program is okay, but if it is blocked by Vista there is nothing we can do. So to backup your BIOS use a bootable DOS media and nvFlash v5.50...

Re:NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v3.4a Software Feedback... - 2007/07/07 13:13 Okay, thanks anyway. Hopefully you'll improve your program over time to fix errors more efficiently.

Yes, we know, it has been explained on our forums several times and it has nothing to do with the BIOS nor with NiBiTor. The fan speed in the BIOS is set at 100% but the ForceWare drivers override those by setting the value to 60%. And till now nobody has found how to get rid of that in the drivers. With RivaTuner you can actually change that 60% to 100%, and then it works just fine when you would modify the BIOS to run at 80% fan speed... And that is for GTS versions.

Oh sorry about that, looked around for quite a bit without finding anything. So I wanted to raise the question to see what is going on. Thanks for that.
